you're welcome!
ask your doctor to consider an anxiety reducing antidepressant if it gets too bad. Such as Paxil.
much better than taking muscle relaxants for a long time, which are addictive. antidepressants aren't and could possibly help other symptoms you may have.
Hi, I know I always keep the long nails! It's a must. Okay, I will continue my search for the source of the problem, and I do tend to hold my breath whenever I lift things. Thanks for your blog though!
Hi John! Well trust me when I say I feel your pain! I don't know what the cause is, but I do know that I too have heard of cricopharyngeal spasms, and though at first I was doubting it. I had hurt my back about a year ago, and still had a couple of muscle relaxers, when I researched it, a doctor said the way he found out if this was what the tightness in the throat was with his patience was to give them a sample dosage of muscle relaxers, I thought it could not hurt to try. So I did, and it worked though if I aloow myself to get stressed, or statr raising my voice it comed right back, it really helps me. Just thought I'd let you know. Jacquie728
lifting heavy objects increases your intraobdominal pressure if you're holding your breath, we call it valsalva and shouldn't damage anything
hope you find a doc you can trust, they're out there, you have to keep looking...
I remember when lifing weights I had a bad habit of holding my breath .I always did this unconsciously . Could this be the cause of it all ? If lifting heavy objects was the cause ,is there anyway to cure this or prevent it from happening ? Could I have dammaged the neck muscles ?
Geez I wish you were my Doc , I've gotten more answers in too sentences than 2 years of seeing doctors and waiting in emergency rooms ....
Thanks
